How effective is sex addiction treatment?

Sex rehab can be very effective for clients who have accepted that their addiction is a problem and who are willing and motivated to get well. Each client has a personalised treatment plan to ensure that the programme is as effective as possible. Our team of specialists monitor and review each client’s programme and offer additional one-to-one therapy if required. Many people have completed our sex rehab programmes and leave our clinic feeling much more in control of their lives.

Is masturbation allowed during sex rehab?

In most cases, clients are required to abstain from masturbation for at a certain period of time during sex rehab. This depends on each client’s personal situation. Following your assessment, your clinical specialist will explore which behaviours are causing you problems and discuss the way forward with you.

Can I contact family and friends during sex rehab?

You can bring a mobile phone with you to contact family and friends, however you won’t have access to it during the first week of rehab. After this, you will be able to use your phone during your free time. There is no access to wi-fi in your accommodation.

Do you continue to offer support once I have left sex rehab?

Yes, we also offer free aftercare for up to a year after the residential programme has finished to help prevent relapse. This involves face-to-face counselling as well as telephone support.
